I dont like to ride in the rain. But I do get wet once in a while. My question is,whats the best eye protection out there when riding inthe rain ? I know whenI ride in the rain I have a real hard time seeing and my glasses fog up I end up taking then off. Just wondering what do most riders do? any tricks or tips?? Thanks

 

Carry a set of goggles and rain/fog X

 

i take mine off and just squint.

 

I have a shield on a 2nd helmet for the rain.

+1 I carry a set of Snoopy's, find that for me they give better peripheral vision; keep them in the bag for Heavy rain otherwise my KD's are fine

 

The "best" protection is a face shield, saves your eyes and can be swiped with your left hand. I've even seen gloves with a squeegy built onto the thumb. Last couple years tho, I just use my normal riding glasses and wipe them occasionally, or turn my head to the side to clear some of the rain. If they do start to fog up, like while sitting in traffic, they end up down my nose with me looking over them - till I get moving again. That was harder to do with goggles. No matter what, always a pain in the neck - but riding in the rain is still a fun experience.

 

I carry a half shield.

 

This is one of those tough questions, what works for me might not work for you. I've been wearing "Guard Dogs" now for years. They are light, have interchangeable lenses and are pretty cheap compared to a lot of others. Like I said, though, it's all trial and error. Everybody's head is shaped differently, so while they may stop the rain and wind from hitting my eyeballs, you might find them miserable. Nothing worse than spending a wad of money because it works for someone else, just to find out it's not good for you. Lots of good suggestions to start with here, the trick is to find the ones that work the best for you. Oh yeah, in case you want to look,
